The interior of Sacre Coeur is just as impressive as its exterior. The focal point of the interior is the giant mosaic of Jesus above the altar, which is made up of over 7 million pieces of colored glass. The nave is adorned with beautiful stained-glass windows that depict scenes from the lives of Christ and other saints. The apse is decorated with a huge fresco that shows the Sacred Heart of Jesus, surrounded by the Virgin Mary and other saints.

With its cobbled streets, stunning Basilica, artists, bistros ... Montmartre is full of charm! Perched on the top of a small hill in the 18th arrondissement, the most famous Parisian district has lost none of its village atmosphere that appealed so much to the artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.
the Place du Tertre is a reminder of the time when Montmartre was the mecca of modern art. At the beginning of the 20th century, many painters including Pablo Picasso were living here.
A real melting pot of art and inspiration for the cinema, Montmartre still gives as much pleasure to those who stroll around it and figures high on the list for a stay in Paris.
